The Forever Stamp?


I went to Wal-Mart last Friday and with the convenience of the world today, I was able to purchase a book of stamps at the checkout stand. I asked if they had stamps and I was told, "Yes, we sell the forever stamp." I was told by the cashier, no matter how much the rate of postage increases, I can affix a forever stamp to my mail, and it will be mailed at a First Class rate.

What the heck! The rates increase every couple of years, right? Well how long do they expect me to hold on to these stamps and use them after the rate increase? Who did the marketing on this product? Come on!
